would spare them. A covenant is an agree
and a man, Noah. God agreed to do certain
act-viz., 20 build the Ark. A positive, not q
natural law governs the transaction. This is
complimentary to man, recognizing his ration
atty, and 50 his ability to be party in agree
ments with God. A covenant always requires
two persons or parties, both of whom mutually
contract or agree.
Doctrines:
1. God Furnishes sin.
2. God is patient. Il John, 3 20)
3. God is omniscient and so can tell before
hand what is to occur. He knew of the Flood
years before it happened and forewarned men
of its coming. This is also apparent in the di-
mansions of the Ark. He knew only q small
number would cleave to him, and the Ark
would be amply large when constructed as
directed.
Duties:
1. We must do our part toward salvation.
Noah built the Ark.
2. Be truly Christian and thus prepare for
the destruction of the earth by fire. q Pet,
$40
3. Not knowing when the second destruction
of earth is to take place, be always ready. The
Flood is type of the Judgment Day.
4. Reflect on Gods treatment Of the wicked
and beware.
5. The Gospel, Christ, is our Ark. The Ark
was an emblem of our Savior.
Behold the Ark Of God
Behold the open Door;
Hasten to gain that dear Abode,
And rove my soul no more"

It was consumption hospital. The
fates forcfend that should ever enter
another. Death met us at the door and
crossed our path and walked with us
wherever we turned. The hollow echoes
of the hideous place reverbcrated with
funereal charm. The rooms, the beds,
the people in bed and out of bed were
spectrcs one and all, and they still some
times come back to me in my dreams.
When the flowers were brought in, it
was wonderful what solitary charm of
healthy nature they at once diiTused
through the distempered and unhealthy
moral atmosphere.
Some patients who were in bed took
their share, and held it as if in prayer.
Others who could walk went up and
down inhaling fragrance, as if it had
been the breath of life itself. Some
made garlands and bouquets to brighten
the wards. should be ashamed to tell
you how much brandy I drank when I
got out into light and life again. to
drown the poignant memory of that
visit. But I learned from it the value
of flower or picture in such scene.
Not poppies, nor mandragora, nor all
the drowsy syrups of the East, mean as
much as these touches of brightness
that invite them to forgctfulncss of them
selves and of their miscries. ALFRED

A painful incident, which recalls Ed
gar Poe's thrilling sketch entitled
''Premature Burial" is reported from
Saumur. A young man, who was af'
ficted with contagious disease, sud-
denly died, at least to all appearances,
and his burial was ordered to take place
as soon as possible. The undertakcr's
men, who carried the coffin to the grave,
thought that they heard a noise lik
knocking under its lid, yet, being afraid
of creating panic among the people who
attended the funeral, they went on with
their burden. The coffin was duly
placed in the grave, but, as the earth
was being thrown upon it, unmistakable
sounds of knocking were heard by every
body. The Mayor, however, had to be
sent for before the coffin could be opened,
and some delay occurred in the arrival
of that official. When the lid was re-
moved the horrible discovery was made
that the unfortunate inmate had just died
from asphyxia.

Two barns said to be filled with un-
thrashed wheat were recently burned in
Germany. They were insured, but it was
impossible to collect, because the claim
was made that the contents of the barns
were simply straw. When the affair got
into the courts, chemical experts were
called to aualyzc the ashes. Wheat con-
tains large quantity of phosphoric acid,
almost ten times as much as does straw.
Naturally, in the burning of these barns,
wood ashes, cement, and other mineral
substances were mixed with the ashes
submitted to to the chemists, but none
of these admixtures contain phosphorie
acid. The experts found that of two
samples placed in their hands one con-
tanned 1879 per cent. and the other 1o
per cent. of the acid, thus proving con.
conclusively that the farmers were in the
right, and the insurance companies, as is
generally the case according to public
sentiment, in the wrong.

A Crew BeSiegcd by Swarms Of Scor-
pions and Centipedes.
Captain Elisha Hall and the crew of the
schooner Lucy T. Harvey, which has Just
arrived at Philadelphia from Port-au. Prince
with cargo of logwood, narrate terri
BILE experience which befell them during
the voyage. Captain Hall says that
when two days out number Of centipedes
appeared on deck, but were promptly scalded.
On January 18th Julian Dominguez Mox-
lcan acting as cook. found the galley and
cabin swarming with centipedes and scor-
pions, which when disturbed by a light
made their appearance on deck. The
crew, which was composed principally Of
colored men, became terrorized at the
appearance Of the poisonous reptiles, and
took to the rigging. So great was their fear
Of being bitten that they refused to leave
their high perch when commanded by the
captain to assist in the work of destroying
the dreaded passengers The scorpions
crawled over the deck for two days, COM
polling the sailors TO- take to the rail while
manning the vessel.
A large Newfoundland dog, which was
tied to the forehatch, was bitten and died
after its body had swollen to twice its nat
ural size. Finally the reptiles in the galley
and cabin were smothered by the tunies Of
burning sulphur, lowered in pans. Those ON
deck were not gotten rid of until Wednes-
day last when northeast gale and
heavy seas were encountered. The sudden
change in the temperature killed many of
item, and the others were SO benumbed that
they were swept overheard without much
difficulty. The logwood was in a decayed
condition, and the scorpions and centipedes
took refuge 10 the holes before it was loaded
on the vessel

D. B. Aldrich, of Jefferson, N. c..
writes to the Constitution that he would
like to hear of Colonel Gardner of the
Ninth Georgia. Mr.. Aldrich was Fed
eral soldier, and after the first battle of
Bull Run was walking over the field
helping the wounded regardless of the
uniform they wore. He came upon Lieu
tenant Colonel Gardner, who had been
wounded in the ankle. Mr.. Aldrich was
advised to stay inside the Confederate
lines, and did so. That night he slept
between two wounded Confederates. A
rain came up, and about midnight he
awoke, quite hungry, and reached for
the knapsack of one of the wounded
soldiers. He got some hardtack which
was moist from the rain, he thought
They tasted mighty good, for be was
very hungry. Next morning he discov-
cred that the hardtack had been moist
ened with blood, and that both the men
with whom he had slept were dead
